Join us for some festive fun on Sunday 8th December! Email Dee with any dietary requirements.  Perfect conditions today for the last club race of the NSC Autumn Series. Six boats, 12 sailors and a few sneaky gusts to keep our rescue team busy! Sail training will continue through the winter, so expect a few more of these glorious NSC sunsets! Congratulations to everybody who represented NSC at the 2024 GP14 World Championships at Plas Heli in Wales! Eighty five boats competed in the week long event, which concluded on Saturday.
 This year's GP14 Championship of Ireland at NSC was one to remember with more 45 boats registered, representing over 20 clubs, and sailing on each of the 3 days allowed all 8 races to be completed. Thanks to all of our club members who pitched in, the race management team, our sponsors, and the visiting crews for making the event a great success!

The trainers, brought over from Cornwall and North Wales, were blown away at how good a venue NSC is, and we can't wait to start running courses with our newly qualified instructors!

| GP14 Autumn Series The Autumn Series begins this Sunday, 3rd September at Newtownards Sailing Club. It’s been a pretty frustrating summer for our sailors, so here’s hoping for more settled conditions and fair winds! First gun is at 2.30pm with two short races each week, continuing until 12th November. The series is also open to non-members at no charge, so we hope to welcome a few visitors from the GP14 Ireland fleet for some competitive racing. Any members, particularly those who have recently learnt to sail, who would like to race one of the club GP14 boats, please email GP14 Fleet Secretary Jennifer Bryce at [email protected] |  |
